<H1>Manual Request Editor dialog</H1>

This dialog allows you to create a request from scratch which will be submitted to the specified target,
or resend an existing request after making any changes to it that you want to.

<H2>Request tab</H2>

This shows the request header and data, either in one or two panels depending on the options chosen.
<br/>
<br/>
A 'Method' pull down allows you to switch between the HTTP methods.<br>
Note that when the method is changed to a POST then any URL parameters are moved into the body, and when the
method is changed from a POST then any parameters in the body are moved to the URL.
<br/>
<br/>
Pull downs allow you to select different <a href="../views.html">Views</a> for the Request header and body.

<H3><img src="../../images/view_split.png" align="bottom" width="16" height="16" />&nbsp; Split display for header and body</H3>
This changes the display so that separate panes are used for the header and body.<br> 

<H3><img src="../../images/view_all.png" align="bottom" width="16" height="16" />&nbsp; Combined display for header and body</H3>
This changes the display so that the header and body are shown in one pane.<br> 

<H3><img src="../../images/fugue/cookie.png" align="bottom" width="16" height="16" />&nbsp; Use current tracking session</H3>
See the 'Enable (Global) HTTP State' option in the <a href="./options/connection.html">Options Connection screen</a>.<br>

<H3><img src="../../images/16/118.png" align="bottom" width="16" height="16" />&nbsp; Follow redirect</H3>
If selected automatically follows any redirects sent to the browser.<br> 

<H3><img src="../../images/layout_tabbed.png" align="bottom" width="16" height="16" />&nbsp; Request and Response tabs side by side</H3>
This changes the display so that the request and response tabs are side by side.<br> 
This increases the information that can be displayed but means you cannot see both the request and response at the same time.

<H3><img src="../../images/layout_vertical_split.png" align="bottom" width="16" height="16" />&nbsp; Request shown above Response</H3>
This changes the display so that the request panel is shown above the response panel.<br> 
This decreases the information that can be displayed but means you can see both the request and response at the same time.

<H3><img src="../../images/layout_horizontal_split.png" align="bottom" width="16" height="16" />&nbsp; Request and Response panels side by side</H3>
This changes the display so that the request panel is shown to the left of the response panel.<br> 
This decreases the information that can be displayed but means you can see both the request and response at the same time.

<H2>Response tab</H2>

This shows the data sent to your browser in response to the request that you submitted, either in one or two panels depending on the options chosen.<br/><br/>

Pull downs allow you to select different <a href="../views.html">Views</a> for the Response header and body.
